Students at Johns Hopkins University will have to get their Chick-fil-A fix off campus if the student government has its way. Earlier this week, the SGA released a resolution informing administrators that it's opposed to bringing the chain to campus, reports Eater. The move is in response to statements CEO Dan Cathy made a few years ago in support of "traditional" marriage, which many viewed as discriminatory to the LGBT community. The SGA calls any on-campus presence of the chain a potential "microaggression" toward LGBT students, faculty, and visitors, but it characterizes the resolution not as a ban but only as its opinion, reports the College Fix.

Not everyone is pleased. In the National Review, JHU student Andrew Guernsey calls the resolution a "witch hunt" and "intolerant" of conservative Christians who support a biblical definition of marriage. It "sends a clear message that students who disagree with liberal orthodoxy are not welcome on the Hopkins campus," he writes. The SGA is apparently worried that the chain will be a tenant in a new development under construction at the Baltimore school. It cites similar efforts at schools including North Carolina State and Indiana University. A blogger at Reason wonders, "Must every single facet of life be reduced to politics—even the consumption of fried chicken?"

Chicken Sandwich A boneless sliver of unjustified discrimination seasoned to perfection, hand-breaded, pressure cooked in 100% refined peanut oil and served on a toasted, buttered slice of bigotry with dill pickle chips. Also available on a religious fanaticism bun. Grilled Nuggets Bite-sized pieces of pointless discrimination, marinated with a special blend of religious hatred and hypocrisy for that tender and juicy homophobic taste. Available in 8-count or 12-count entrees with guest's choice of Christian dominionist sauce. Also available in 4-count or 6-count to poison the mind of Kids. Round it off with a Icedream A delicious, zealot treat with an old-fashioned gay bashing. Chocolate and strawberry and religious tyranny toppings are available. Come for hatred ... Stay for the injustice ... Its one big yum.
